The new fire engine 'sthrew up
last week at the time and place adj
vertiSed. Everybody was out and all
called it fun, except the members of
the company who furnished the power.
l he plan was to place the engine on
the iron bridge, drop the suction hose
into the river, lay 400 feet Of hose
up Cottage street and fire over Vests
hotel. This plan worked fairly well
until they came to throw the water
over the hotel. Had that building
been a one story hen house and the
nozzle laid on the ridge-pole, water
would have gone over sure. The
crowd smiled and backed out, but the
boys hung to the machine. The hv-
drant at the Noyes corner was made
available and with a stream running
into the tub, was thrown 200 feet,
with $50 feet of hose. Connection
was also made direct with the hydrant
and the f:,ct was demonstrated that
water would fly some that way. Well,
the trial of the engine was not salts
factory, Of course. But upon exam
ination after the machine went to the
engine house, it appeared that only
one of the pumps had worked, the
packing being out of place. Reason
enough for the unsatisfactory work
done. Another tria! will show, prob
ably, that the machine will do all that
the owners represented it would.
